The tall ship, Friends Good Will (FGW) is on a weeklong visit to the Muskegon area.

Sailing out of the Michigan Maritime Museum in South Haven, the FGW is a historic replica of a vessel that was built as a great lakes merchant trader. However, it spent most of its sailing days as a participant in the War of 1812.
